Get excited for our theatrical production of the month. The Santa Clarita Shakespeare Festival will bring a more modern envisioning of Moliere’s “Tartuffe” to The Main stage. Set against the backdrop of 1980s excess in Beverly Hills, this updated Tartuffe examines the evil that men can commit under the guise of religious fervor and the dangers that imperil those who would believe only what they choose to believe despite a mountain of evidence to the contrary. This comedy is part of the Summer Theatre Festival and will happen at The MAIN on July 19 at 8:00 p.m., July 20 at 2:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m., and July 21 and 28 at 2:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission and $15 for students and seniors.
